HUM* ** HARNESSING THE NILE. Sch«oie Worthy of » Kuttiearft or ■ Pharaoh. Engineering skill is to rearrange na ture’s surface on the Egyptian frontier, and pond back into Nubia a body ol , water 140 miles long, crossing the tro-J pic of Cancer and extending southward | nearly to Koroako—a goodly step on j the Journey to Abu-Hlmbel and Wady- j Haifa—by means of a great dam across ! the Nile at Assuan, says the Century. | The pyramids and the Sphinx have horn testimony through the centuries to the grandeur and power of execution which dwelt within the Nile valley; and what more fitting now that the same valley be the theater of a gigan tic exploit, audacious perhaps, but cer tain of success, and ministering to man’s necessities, rather than to his vanity? As a building achievement the scheme Is on a scale worthy of a Humeses or a Pharaoh. To create in the heart of the African desert a lake having from two to three tlmeH the su perficial area of Lake Geneva, in Swit zerland, and control It with scientific precision, so that the Impounded flood may be turned Into distant channels at will, is a stupendous undertaking. Hut the engineers claim that their plans can he carried out to the letter; they have estimated the exact cost of the dum, computed almost to the gal lon the volume of water that will be imprisoned, and figured the necessary j resistance to he provided at every point, of the masonry. In Cairo, the experts of the ministries of public works and j finance, likewise, have calculated to a j nicety the sum from taxation that will j come Into the public treasury through j the country’s augmented productive- I ness. Subordinate to the great dam, a I smaller one not unlike the barrage at j the apex of the delta, ten miles north of Cairo, is to be made at Asslut. Tts functions will be to give a sufficient head to the river to force the water into the system of irrigation canals that vein hundreds of thousands of acres between Asslut and Cairo. The completion of the Cairo barrage (it was begun by Mehemet All Pasha, from the plans of a French engineer, but not made effective until England took the country in hand) so developed cotton culture as to add to the public revenue of the country at least 110,000,000 annu ally. It may be safely concluded that the Assuan reservoir is but one of a series which will in time be construct ed southward to the Victoria Nyanza. The re-establishment of khedival au thority at Khartoum will determine this. FROLIC OF THE TORPEDO BOAT. In the earlier days of the war, while the excitement of the new condition of affairs was still at its height, the com manders of the different craft engaged in the blockade of Havana were rest less under the monotony of their du ties, and sometimes did things that were not ordered by the commander in-chief. So writes a naval corre spondent of the Companion, and he proceeds to narrate a pretty lively ad venture aB a case in point. One particularly dark night the cap tain of a torpedo-boat decided to take advantage of the darkness and run well In toward the Morro. With all lights doused, the boat steamed slowly toward the entrance of the harbor until her crew could hear plainly the surf breaking on the rocks under the ‘cas tle.’’ While the boat rolled lazily In the swell, the officers tried to make out the guns and the fortifications at the harbor mouth. Suddenly, as the boat gave a heavy roll, the switch which turned on the private nigbt signal was moved, and a blaze of red and white lights Illumi nated the entire boat. Every one made a dash to break the connection. In the rush the colored cook managed to roll overboard, and as he went over the side he grabbed at everything handy. Among the things he took hold of, un fortunately, was the whistle rope. If the boat had been foundering, nothing more could have been done to attract attention. The big search-light on the Morro twitched around in an uncertain manner, and turned slowly toward the boat. Before It reached them the people on the torpedo-boat managed to turn o.'f the signal; the spasmodic shrieking of the whistle stopped when the cook was hauled aboard, and the boat escaped In the darkness without a shot being tired at her. The next time hla boat went In, the captain took In his private night sig nal and the cook had orders to stay in the galley. Mlramahlp MaMeMea.

He has been in the service of the Rock Island company since 1884, when he was appointed first assistant general freight agent. In March, 1888, he became general freight agent, and eight years later was appointed freight traffic manager. Mr. Johnson began his railroad career In 1871 aH station agent at Franklin, Ind., on the Indian apolis, Cincinnati & Lafayette road, now a part of the Illg Four. He after waru went through the positions of general freight and ticket agent, traveling auditor, supervisor of local freight traffic and assistant general freight agent, in which capacity he en tered the service of the Rock Island. The recent order of the Halt (more A Ohio Railroad for five thousand steel coal cars to he built by the Pressed Steel Company and the Carnegie Com pany, brings the total purchases of the receivers of the Baltimore A Ohio Rail road up to 30,394 since March 1, 1890. The locomotive purchases during that time have been 216, of which about 20 are still to he delivered. The company has also purchased five postal cars, ten express cars, ten combination cars and six dining cars. William C. K. Wilde, the younger brother of Oscar Wilde, who died in London several days ago, came to New York after marrying -»rs. Frank Les lie In 1891 with the Intention of writ ing for publication, lb* had been con nected with various English papers In a desultory fashion for several years, but had never displayed any marked ability as a writer. Mr. Wilde was tall, young and of pleasant address. Ills style of writing did not commend Itself to any of the New York news papers, and during his stay In New York he was apparently a man of leis ure, spending most of his time at the Lotus club. The divorce which freed Mrs. Leslie from her English husband was not unexpected by the men who knew him. borne men’s charitable contributions are confined to suggestions. C OTHER HOOD is woman’s natural destiny. Many women are denied the happiness of children through some derangement of the generative organs. Actual barrenness is rare. Among the many triumphs of Lydia E. Pinkharn’s Vegetable Compound is the overcoming of cases of supposed barrenness. i liis great ^iO mnmmO WwS medicine is so well calculated to regu ^ — late every function of the generative or Or gans that its efficiency is vouched for —ah—» by multitudes of women. wwLMMM Mrs. Ed. Wolford, of Lone Tree, — ■■■ ■ ■ -- Iowa, writes: ••Dear Mrs. Pinkham—Before taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound I had one child which lived only six hours. The doctor said it did not have the proper nourishment while I was carrying it. I did not feel at all well during preg nancy. In time I conceived again, and thought I would write to you tor advice, j Words cannot express the gratitude I feel J towards you for the help that your medi* cine was to me during this time. I felt like a new person; did my work tip to the last, and was sick only a short time. My baby weighed ten famii pounds. Jle is a fine boy, the joy of our home. He is now six weeks old and weighs sixteen pounds. Your medicine is cer tainly a boon in pregnancy." j Mrs, Flora Cooper, of 1 Doyle, S. Dak., writes: ••Dear Mrs. Pinkham— I Ever since my last child I ■ suilered with inflammation of ■ the womb, pains in back, left j side, abdomen and groins. My M head ached all the time. I could not walk across the floor withoutsuflering intense pain. I kept getting worse, until two years ago I wrote to you for advice, and begun taking Lydia li. I’mkham s Vegetable Compound. I had not finished the first bottle before I felt better. I took four bottles, and have been strong and perfectly healthy ever since, and now have two of the nicest little girls." THE BEST--- I gPRING T0N1G. ~ As winter passes away it leaves many people feeling weak, depressed and easily tired. This means that the blood needs attention and sensible people always take a tonic at this time of year. Purgatives are not the right medicine — they weaken Instead of strengthening. . . Dr. ’Williams- Pink Pills for Pale People, are the best tonic medicine in the world and do not act on the bowels. They stimulate the appetite, enrich the blood, strengthen the nerves and make people feel bright, active and strong, /No one lx better able to speak of this fact than Miss Hazel Hnlder,' a charming young woman of Arlington, Ind. To-day shn has rosy checks, sparkling eyes and a plump form, which prove that she Is i In good health. A year ago Miss Holder was very thin, her cheeks pule, eyca sunken and dull. Hhe was troubled with nervousness and general debility. Hhe says; “After several month*' treatment from the family physician w« saw he could do no good. I was discouraged and did not know wliut to do. One day I read an Item In * |iupcr of the wonderful curative quulltlesof Dr. Williams’ I’lnkl’llls for Pale People. 1 tried ! the medicine, and when nearly through with the second box noticed a change for the better. After 1 bad taken eight boxes 1 was cured, and have bad no occasion to take any kind of medicine since. I owe much to l)r.
